Cohen and co. need to recruit this guy HARD. We need to get him to commit to us. And I know that you're thinking "What? This guy is never going to set foot on ANY college campus?" But here's the thing- this guy is going to be talked about A LOT in the next few years. Even though there is very little- OK no chance that he will go to college, everytime someone mentions him and the draft guess who else they will mention if he is verbally committed to us? Yep. Mississippi State. It will be along the lines of "Harper is going to be drafted in the first round, but he also has committed to Mississippi State and has the option if he chooses to go that route."
And what will happen? Free recruiting/advertising for the University and the baseball program. There will be some very good players that will think- Mississippi State, huh? Maybe I need to look at their program.
And then who knows? With Boras as his "advisor" (cough, agent) he could very well go to college. Heck, he has made guys go play Idependent League ball to try to get more money. Maybe we get really, really lucky. Who knows?
I know if I was Cohen, I would definately go after him.
